8 Affordable Anti-aging Skincare Products for over-50s

Posted on January 21October 15

affordable anti-aging products

A woman’s skin goes through major changes after menopause when estrogen levels dip.  The structure of the skin changes completely and although the top layer becomes thinner, the epidermis becomes more impenetrable. It’s essential to use the right skin products  if you want to slow down the signs of aging and minimize any skin damage you already have.

If you think that anti-aging skincare products cost a fortune, you will be pleasantly surprised to discover that many products selling for under $25 on Amazon contain ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and retinol which are recommended by top dermatologists.

Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body and it attracts and retains water to keep the skin hydrated.  It promotes healthier, more supple skin.  Retinol exfoliates the skin and increases collagen production. It is a  powerful anti-aging tool and can make your skin look younger, brighter and more radiant.

Avon Anew Clinical Line Eraser with Retinol

Dermatologist Dr Kim Nichols, recommends this product for those who have not used retinol before. She says you only need to use a small amount of the product and that you you should always use retinol with a moisturiser.  Retinol can minimize fine lines and winkles, diminish dark spots and reduce inflammation.

Over 50s who use this product say it softens the lines between their eyebrows and reduces the deep lines on their upper lips.

Hi, I'm Erica. I faced a double challenge when my children left home and I went through a divorce after 32 years of marriage. I had never lived alone before. Leaving behind the past and moving on can be challenging. If you are also in this process I hope you will find some inspiration here.
